We have promised that we'd create the ultimate widgets resource, so today we've taken one step closer to this goal by merging the two worlds: desktop widgets AND web widgets are all together at Widgipedia.

as some of my web widgets were not compatible with widgetbox, I gave them a try on widgipedia and luckily for me they all work like a charm!So far I have uploaded three of them:

I need feedback on one of my latest desktop widgets.This standalone desktop widget for windows doesn't require installation. The following description is taking from the widgipedia where the widget is hosted:

Bars and numbers showing the percentage of your CPU Usage. No installation needed. Stays on top of all other windows allowing you to see the resources request from different applications. Press Esc key to close it.

One person has left his feedback saying it doesn't work; so please if you can try it and leave comments about it either here or on its webpage telling me whether it works or not, would be really appreciated.

more than a month ago, I wrote "My widgets on widgetbox" where I said I wouldn't write about my widgets on this blog anymore.

Well, actually I changed my mind as I have decided to continue writing about them and is because of many reasons:- Feedback: I can get feedback, comments, suggestions and requests- QA: To test them and to see how they look like when published on a blog- Incompatibility: Some of the widgets I've done or updated are not compatible with widgetbox- Promotion: I want my widgets to be used by other people so I need to let people know about them- Personal: To use my blog :P (writing is a good habit and specially for me as English is not my mother tongue...)

The other day I had a bit of spare time and while working on my Firefox-Calendar desktop widget, I managed to update my hi5 account.At last! after many times trying to open the buggy website I could use the old "features" and check the new ones.One of the things that I liked is that you can use flash now and as a test I put my Flash Skype Status button on it.I don't know why in Latin America hi5 is so popular, many people preffers it rather than mySpace for instance and my sister is one of them, who is always sending me messages from it; but one of the things I don't like is that kind of force you to start a blog as many other websites do nowadays and I find useless to start blogs that I won't be able to update and will be there left dusty and rusty...

Anyway, for me having emigrated so far, hi5 is a good way to see how my relatives are doing as I haven't seen some of them for almost 5 years...
